"SUN Bucks” Art Direction + Design

Visual identity, campaign branding, and development of social graphics and animations across all platforms to combat summer hunger for over 30 million children across 37 states and several territories.

USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) works to end hunger and obesity through the administration of 16 federal nutrition assistance programs in partnership with state and tribal governments, our programs serve one in four Americans during the course of a year.

Under my art direction, our team developed a social media presence, website, and communications toolkit contains materials for use by agencies implementing the SUN programs – SUN Meals, SUN Meals To-Go, and/or SUN Bucks – many of which are customizable so to tailor them to each a specific state, Tribe, or territory.
